Courage is calling...

“ Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage." - Anaïs Nin

Hello, Reader!

Heart beating wildly, mind racing... I am standing barefoot at the edge of a boat in Australia, staring down into the living, blue abyss of The Great Barrier Reef.

Frozen.

Not from fear of the water... From the fear of what it would actually mean to jump....

To make the leap without being totally ready...

To know that if I could do THAT, what else could I do...?

(Spoiler Alert... I jumped! And it was spectacular! Read more...)

But the hardest form of courage isn’t always the leap into the unknown...

Sometimes it’s the quiet, daily act of staying loyal to yourself.

Finding the courage to be authentic is one the most underestimated acts of bravery in our culture.

The courage to tell yourself, and others, the truth. To let go of something that isn't working. To say no to a version of yourself that once felt safe, but now feels too small.

We live in a world that teaches us how to perform, adapt, and succeed… but rarely how to stay loyal to ourselves...

I explore that, and more, in this latest post:
​Courage is Calling... Will You Answer?​

🎙️ Let me read it to you! 🎙️

Join me as I explore:

• Why courage is the prerequisite for clarity, intuition, and alignment - not fearlessness, but moving in alignment with your inner compass despite doubt.
• Ignoring the nudge to leap has a cost — stagnation, self-betrayal, creative dullness, and grief for the un-lived version of your life.
• Authenticity is the ultimate act of courage — it asks you to stay loyal to yourself, embrace challenges, and grow into who you’re meant to be.
• Leaning into the wind - why facing challenges with courage ultimately leads to greater strength and resiliency.

The growth, the clarity, and the joy you’re seeking?

They are all on the other side of your willingness to listen to those nudges and take those courageous leaps... however big or small.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences... Where has following your heart lead you to those courageous decision points in your life?

Just hit REPLY... it's just me on the other end!

P.S. One of the best ways to express yourself authentically is on the page... especially in a judgment-free, no-inner-critic zone!
